it does have a ground

oh god yeah
the N64 had such a washed out image quality
I mean we were all kids what did we care
but looking back
it was awful

a lot of that is by design
N64 games have baked in blur
with an RGB video mod they just look weird

I think the Saturn probably had the best image output

bonks adventure was a good game
weird
but good

thats a 2D image

I guess later games werent as bad about it
but go play turok or something

there are hex edits to remove certain blur applied to N64 games

how much performance difference between 6600 and 6600xt?

how do I read these 2?

what? no lithium ion batteries lol
sly elk
how do I read these 2?
PCIe gen 3 x4 means that it's "x4" pcie lanes and they are pcie gen 3
gen 4 is faster but more expensive, but usually trivially more expensive
sly elk
so this M.2 PCIe will fit the first expansion slots yeah? (PCIEX4).
these are talking about your full size pcie slots
also this pic
this says the motherboard has 2 m.2 connectors
one is pcie 4.0 or 3.0 and uses 4 lanes
the other is pcie 3.0 and uses 2 lanes
did you already buy an ssd

I see it now. So you would recommend getting the 4.0?

lately the sale prices for a 4.0 are not much different than the sale prices for a 3.0, so I'd get the 4.0 if it made sense

I'm just browsing right now, if it's worthed to add another 128 or 256 gb of extra M.2-2280 to put my system files in

sly elk
the reason for this is they have more nand chips on the board
outer sand
my current system one I think is also only 128 gb
sly elk
the controller spreads reads/writes across the chips
outer sand
but it's sata, very old one 5+ years old
sly elk
also the way that nand chips work
if you have more space, there's more places for nand writes to happen quickly without having to nuke old blocks first
too late for me to explain that one lol
outer sand
yeah, I think my system is like 70gb/128gb right now 🥲
sly elk
that's not bad
when you get over 50% usage it'll start slowing down
so what's your budget like?
if you have a 128gb right now, my guess is the difference between 3.0 and 4.0 really doesn't matter 😄
sly elk
in that case, just hunt for a deal on any nvme. A 970 evo plus or a crucial p3 or a p5 or a sk hynix p31 or p41 or whatever

I would like to knock the dust out of the CPU cooler but it's in there pretty good. I tried with a blow drier and vacuum. Might have to take the fan off to get to it. It's an fx-8350. Gets super hot if I don't throttle it
I even applied new paste to it. It just gets loud as fuck

I might replace it with my old 4350 . Probably run cooler. And this time I'll clean the cooler
hard drift
just turn on eco mode for the 8350 if you're worried about heat
modern iris
Is that in the bios?
hard drift
yes
hard drift
yes but so would thermal throttling lol
hard drift
then eco is fine
rose hornet
I prefer somewhat lower, consistent performance vs throttling that makes the performance yoyo back and forth
modern iris
Same here. I mean it ramps up pretty easily. Annoying
modern iris
then eco is fine
Is that the setting I'm looking for? It's an ASRock bios
modern iris
I put in a different cooler. I have two similar ones I'm not sure which one originally came with the 8350 but it's doing a better job of cooling it down
Ones an aec and other is a cooler master. The aec didbt need to be cleaned

amazing how much case design changed in less than 10 years
Although I suppose that is directly related to people not needing optical drives anymore, and then M.2 and 2.5" SSDs removing the necessity of HDDs
The removal of optical is probably the bigger one, because that provided more space on the backside to put 2.5" SSDs and cable mgmt back there instead of in the front

Question.
Will a Tower Cooler not cut it when trying to cool a Ryzen 7 5800x3D?
How about a DeepCool AK620?
hard drift
it'll be fine
glossy ravine
Because the 5800x3D is on sale and I'm mildly tempted to pull the trigger/finance it to build credit.
hard drift
it'll work perfectly fine with that cooler
glossy ravine
0% APR financing.)
hard drift
ak620 is rated for up to 260w supposedly
plus the cpu is only like 105w so the cooler is more than enough with a more likely rating of 150+w
hard drift
the 5800x was hot to begin with for 105w

probs gonna have to change it to commander for control, mb control sucks
sly elk
bun what hardware are you using?
you can save fan curves to memory with the commanders
but the caveat is that it has to use the temperature sensors it has access to, for those fan curves
so like ice has a water block plugged in to his commander that reports temperatures back to the commander
i have a random temp sensor plugged into mine, and have another commander with the aio hooked up to it reporting temps xD

do any of you nerds understand cgnat?
I might move to an isp that uses it but I'm reading suggestions it can hinder online gaming

apparently it might stop torrents too
so it could mean either paying for a static ip, or a vpn
it's a small isp though so their documentation is almost nothing

cgnat is what cell phones usually use for internet
I should probably rephrase that

it's a decent price for gigabit though, free install, 6 months free, £35/month for a further 12 months

I am pretty sure that is what t-mobile has been using for ages, such that your phones don't normally get their own IP address

could be worth the hassle of paying for static ip or vpn for port forwarding
